PointsBet has brought in William Grounds as an independent non-executive director.
The former president and chief operating officer of Infinity World Development Corp will bring his experience to the operator, which works in Australia, the United States and Canada.
Grounds was responsible for leading Infinity World Development’s US$7bn investment in CityCenter Resort & Casino in Las Vegas with joint venture partner MGM Resorts International.
He also served as a non-executive director of MGM Resorts between 2013 and 2021 and is currently a director of Consumer Portfolio Services.
PointsBet chairman, Brett Paton, said: “William has tremendous international business and governance experience, with particular strengths in the areas of US sports betting, gaming and casino.
“Further, adding an additional US- based director ensures we continue to have the appropriate level of governance and oversight on the ground in the expanding and ever-evolving North American market.”
